maybe could been peno end howard made routine saves. I read other day two have to go if we are to find yarmolenko do you think its kev and naismith.

Tell you what you wouldn't want to spill Mo Besic's pint! Not a big lad more of a Begby off train spotting.

14 Jan 2016 00:04:18
I have to agree sb, Mo is a breath of fresh air, full blooded tackling seems to have become a thing of the past nowadays. All these prima donnas
who go down if their shin pads get touched need a good kick up the h**p.

I am lost for words. We are actually starting to look like a team playing for each other again. I know Osman looks like he is running through thick porridge, but I do feel he links the attack to the defence well and gets the full back overlapping. Besic is just fantastic and I know we were hanging on in the end, but we had a couple of chances too. The main difference is obviously Jags and he will be difficult to replace. The balance is starting to show.

Blimey Ed I don't know what the boys are on tonight but are they good, world class save from Howard and almost a goal from Leon let's see more of this eh, maybe just maybe Bobby does know what he is doing, more of this second half please c'mon you Blues, GuernseyBlue.

0-0 and yes Howard had a good game as did the defence as a whole. On the right track and hopefully Mr Martinez will get the balance right. Before we go any further any of the we told you so's about Martinez and Howard would just be jumping the gun. Still 11th and those below us closer to us.

{Ed025's Note - it was a good result DM, not really the night to have a moan imo mate..

13 Jan 2016 20:13:21
Credit were credits due the boys are up for this match tonight they are really playing well at the mo c'mon Blues get behind them, GuernseyBlue.

Look forward to watching Osman track back and keep up with Navas. Like watching a greyhound vs a 15 year old St Bernard running in quick sand.

{Ed025's Note - love it ally..

13 Jan 2016 19:42:45
Martinez is an absolute clown, Osman is past it by about 2 years, what's Mirallas got to do?

{Ed025's Note - i cant see the logic either oli..

13 Jan 2016 18:55:42
That team's made me sad.

13 Jan 2016 17:51:34
Decent odds on my regular bet tonight Blues, Lukaku last goal is 8/ 1, double normal odds, come on Rom pay for my Saturday out.

{Ed025's Note - good luck degs..and lets hope its the winner mate..

13 Jan 2016 18:25:04
took Delboy for first too Ed, 16/ 1, 2-0 for us with those two scoring would be nice, weather will play big part tonight too.

{Ed025's Note - i fancy a draw tonight degsy..

13 Jan 2016 16:07:49
Alright ed, what are our realistic chances of getting yarmolenko? Is it possible reading different things.

{Ed002's Note - I I can comfortably say that realistic chances are between 23 and 28.}

13 Jan 2016 13:07:44
. I see Kone is going to Sunderland looking at ssn this morning - I was all excited for a split second til I realized it was another Kone. some geezer from France! Shame!

13 Jan 2016 14:44:03
thats caught me out 3 times too Zack ha ha.

13 Jan 2016 12:42:30
Yarmelenko is the new Riquelme, I heard he was spotted in the Winslow having a pint of Chang and a Bacon Sandwich. Where have you seen him?

13 Jan 2016 09:31:16
what is everyones thoughts on the season so far? mine is simple really, defense is not experienced enough yet and its about time howard handed the reins over to robles. brilliant at attacking, but thnking barry is getting slow (besic looking better) . could have a good side next year with a clear out of barry, howard, hibbert, osman, pienaar, kone, mcgeady, naismith (i would of loaned him out until end of season) , good call on gibson to go out on loan (good squad player when fit and wouldn't get much for him) . buy a new keeper (ospina) , chambers, striker (remy) , playmaker/ left winger.

13 Jan 2016 11:03:40
not a bad post but then you let yourself down big time when you mentiond ospina ffs avin we learned that we need a great keeper not another crap one ospina is effing awfull I would pick robles over him any day. my god I may even keep howard. I don't think you will get many blues agreeing with you on that one dazza mate. post away blues let's see wot u think.

13 Jan 2016 12:49:05
Barry included in the clear out.? I know he is getting on, but he has been one of best players this season, and has played almost every game, showing no signs of age. Besic on form deserves to come into one of the two deeper midfield roles, for sure, but at Barry's expense.?

13 Jan 2016 12:49:35
Dazza have to agree with Paul over ospina. Chambers not bad shout but remy? Never been great player
. we do need striker to take pressure off rom. another sharp or Lineker be fab. Ya never know maybe Robbie find a gem among the kids, mcaleny or Rodriguez or someone.

13 Jan 2016 13:27:12
Dazza a name to go missing from that list mate,

13 Jan 2016 13:37:10
I don't think we can offload so many players in the one go as we need players with experience like Osman and Barry in the squad. Barry is playing well this year and will b valuable again next season . We should offload 3 or 4each transfer window starting with mc Geady, hibbert Naismith and Gibson and replace them. In summer ship out Howard, pienaar, Mirallas (if he not playing) and replace. Imo that the best way to ensure we continually strengthen each transfer window and also Do not sell any of our talented players at any price as we are as good as any team in PL. oh I nearly forgot replace Martinez in summer too and get vg manager to take us to next level which is top 4 on a regular basis.

said it all along BluePaul. Football is a competitive sport where winning is considered a plus and losing considered a minus. Yes we are playing attractive football but ours is not getting us results hence needs tweaking a bit. RM does not need to stray far from his footballing philosophy to achieve positive results it is just that he is either to obstinate, proud or thick to accept anyone elses view but his own. We have been lucky so far that there are at least going to be 3 clubs below us without the ability to get above us.
